Theater Münster – Elektra - KLYTÄMNESTRA
|
Helena Köhne’s is not so much a demonic but rather a frightened KLYTÄMNESTRA… |
Opernwelt 2/23 Uwe Schweikert |
Only Helena Koehne as Klytämnestra with her velvet deep notes, coming from the chest but yet slender, was truly convincing. |
Das Opernglas 2/2023 M.Lode-Gerke |
In this production Helena Köhne in the role of Klytämnestra was almost continiously on stage. Also in the scenes, where she didn’t have anything to sing. But she is one of the key elements in this dark Munster Elektra production. Ms. Köhne convincingly and captivatingly portrayed the demanding part with its entire dark facets, heavy with calamities. Vocally, she entirely went into the deep registers and in the fatal dialogue with Elektra she was an absolutely adequate counterpart. This scene leaves a particularly strong impression. |

Oper Kiel - Arabella - ADELAIDE |
Wonderfully keen was the portrayal of Adelaide as future mother-in-law, who tardily discovers her eroticism and would rather like to test her potential sons-in-lawâs manhood herself. With her rich, powerful alto voice Helena KĂśhne draws a strong vocal and dramatic profile |
